I can’t say enough wonderful things about RSK! The staff is truly exceptional, and they have a special way of caring for dogs, especially those with special needs. My dog, Mr. B, absolutely loves it there! He has a favorite person who always takes such great care of him, and it warms my heart to see how much he enjoys his time at the kennel. The love and attention they provide are unmatched, and it’s evident that everyone at RSK adores him too. Thank you for always taking such good care of Mr. B when we’re away! Highly recommend!
